Planning for a tropical wedding? Don’t forget about the flowers!

While conventional weddings in grand hotels and cosy chapels are still very much the norm today, many couples are straying away from tradition and choosing to hold their ceremony in the scenic backdrop of tropical beaches. Who wouldn’t want to tie the knot and party in the sun with their family and friends at the same time, after all? Plus, the pale white sand and glistening blue waters make for the perfect backdrop for the monumental “I do” moment.

But, the elements of the beach alone are certainly not enough to eliminate the need for any wedding decor. I mean, a wedding without ribbons and flowers? No can do. Flowers are an inseparable component of any wedding decor, what more when it’s a tropical wedding. It’s the perfect opportunity to bust out the extravagant tropical vibrancy in the form of gorgeous petals.

However, depending on the climate of your wedding destination, choosing the right type of flowers are key. While a wintery wedding might call for flowers in deeper shades like plum, warmer weather such as here in Asia necessitate brighter, summery blooms.

For all you brides-to-be who are thinking of jet-setting to a neighbouring island or even staying in sunny Singapore to tie the knot, we’ve got you covered. From flamboyant blooms to delicate petals, we’ve rounded up the 10 most stunning flowers perfect for your tropical wedding. Head up to our gallery to kick start your wedding decor planning!
